What are you trying to do? I don’t know about shapecfg but we are using squid with bandwidth limiting enabled on a windows server. With squid you can limit total bandwidth, bandwidth per net, and bandwidth per node. We are currently set up with just total bandwidth limiting.

Hi,
You really don't supply any information about the type of setup you need, so here are some general considerations about trafiic shaping with kernel shapers (shapecfg) and squid:
(1) squid will shape just the proxied traffic (http, https, ftp) but can do it very well, with a reasonable granularity, as was mentioned in the response of Astronomer.
(2) kernel shaper modules can shape anything with any granularity (sometimes unreasonable), but you have to know well what are you doing and you can get some idea about this here:

(3) If you do plan to implement transparent proxying, my feeling is that it should be announced to your users and worded accordingly in some kind of policy - it's easy to make it transparent, but quite hard to make it invisible.
BR,
Petko
